My cat Tobin
editing: crop, increased contrast, slight increase to saturation, minor cloning in eye, resize, sharpen eye and fur separately, add border.
I know it's focused on the nose, not the eye, but it was hard to get the shot while she sat still and I didn't have time to make the camera focus on the right spot.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I would also have liked to see the eye in focus, but I was working with my p&s as I don't have a macro lens for my big camera. It kept autofocusing on the nose. Oh, well, I still like the shot.
This is one of the best and most intense cat shots I've seen. I really like the crop. The only (but very tiny) niggle is I'd love to see the eye as sharp as the nose.
not a fan of the frame, but everything is quite fine. The detail it excellent and your composition is as well. Like the eye and its great color but I wish it was as sharp as the nose and surronding hair. Works OK as DOF, I think, as it does give depth to the image.
Nice close-up. I would rather like to see the focus on the eye which is more interesting and beautiful than the nose which is cute, but not as much as the eye.
great pic. I love the color and sharpness, very arresting image. I would like to see a slightly larger (taller) crop for comparson that would place the eye and nose more squarly on the "rule of thirds" lines.
Best cat picture of the bunch (not comparing, just making a statement). Excellent composition. Wonder how selective desat of all but the eye would look like. Cliche? Maybe. Wish the eye was just a little sharper but image is great as it is. 8 from me - good luck in the challenge!
